Math Problem Statement

1/3^5n × 9^n-1 × 27^n+1

Solution

To simplify the expression:

135n×9n1×27n+1\frac{1}{3^{5n}} \times 9^{n-1} \times 27^{n+1}

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Rewrite the terms using powers of 3:

    • 9=329 = 3^2, so 9n1=(32)n1=32(n1)=32n29^{n-1} = (3^2)^{n-1} = 3^{2(n-1)} = 3^{2n-2}.
    • 27=3327 = 3^3, so 27n+1=(33)n+1=33(n+1)=33n+327^{n+1} = (3^3)^{n+1} = 3^{3(n+1)} = 3^{3n+3}.

    Now the expression becomes:

    135n×32n2×33n+3\frac{1}{3^{5n}} \times 3^{2n-2} \times 3^{3n+3}

  2. Combine the powers of 3:

    Using the rule am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}, we can combine the exponents of 3.

    3(5n)×32n2×33n+3=3(5n)+(2n2)+(3n+3)3^{-(5n)} \times 3^{2n-2} \times 3^{3n+3} = 3^{-(5n) + (2n-2) + (3n+3)}

  3. Simplify the exponent:

    Combine the terms in the exponent:

    (5n)+(2n2)+(3n+3)=5n+2n+3n2+3=0+1=1-(5n) + (2n-2) + (3n+3) = -5n + 2n + 3n - 2 + 3 = 0 + 1 = 1

    So, the expression simplifies to:

    31=33^1 = 3

Final Answer:

The simplified expression is:

33
